I have been buying CDs since about 1983. I am kind of a Techno Junkie so when CD Players came out, I had to have one. A few years back a Used CD Store was going out of business and I bought their remaining inventory because they had to be out of the space and the owner was much older then me and didn't want to mess with moving them or putting them on EBAY. So I bought them for pennies on the dollar and sold the duplicate copies on EBAY. Took over a year to sell off all the duplicate CDs. I used batch ripping to rip all the CDs the last time I ripped them at 200 CDs per run. As for music, I listen to just about everything but Rap Hip-Hop. As for managing, I keep it simple with my file ripping structure and let SqueezeboxServer do the rest. I guess since I enjoy and listen to so music I also kind of keep track in my head of what I have. Over the years I have only bought about 5 CDs that I forgot I already had. It has been much easier since Squeezebox. It keeps it organized in alphabetical order and when I am buying CDs I just open Squeeze Mobile on my iPhone and check to see if I already have the CD or not. -- iPhone *iPhone* Media Room: Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1 Living Room: Duet, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Kitchen: Squeezebox BOOM Bedroom: Second Boom Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Ford Thunderbird: Duet, Mac Mini Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive ------------------------------------------------------------------------ iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75205 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
